Hi there everyone!
This post pursues the purpose of gathering info from the more experienced that me (which means everyone, hahaha), regarding Habitat in the tropics for my new pet, Guita La Tortuguita. I'll see if I can post some pictures and let the comments fly in! Thank you for all the info you can give me, as I am a very inexperienced newcomer to the Turtle World.

This is Guita's Swimtank with a 24/7 water filter

This is her Feeding area and her Basking area

This is the Whole Habitat Area.

Thank you very much for your comments.

Ricardo, from Puerto Rico.

Hmm you sure he cant get out the backside of the pool? The water looks high enough he could get out

Thank you Painted!
I have not seen her going over yet, but I'll consider this aspect right away. I'll see what kind of barrier I am able to develop. Bull already alerted me about RES's abilities to climb, so, thank you very much for your observation!!! I'll post pics after the build...

I would use wire mesh but make sure to curve it at the top so what ever is climbing cannot climb over...

Sounds like a nice idea! I have not started on the project just yet....but I might blend that one in as I go.... ;-)
